There’s a J. D. Salinger story where a character gives someone an “unpretentious bouquet” of parentheses. They looked a little like this: {{{}}}}. In a semi-similar fashion, I’d like to say thanks with a picture of cheese (see above, and enjoy).
Thanks to all the people who have left extremely thoughtful and lovely messages since I was made redundant from my day job at Inside Out magazine. (Also, thank you ex-workplace for the nice farewell work lunch at Bread and Circus in Alexandria). Losing your job isn’t the greatest experience, but I’m choosing to see the upside to what’s ahead.
Also, thanks to all the people who noticed that I’ve started writing for Good Living in the Sydney Morning Herald. I’m now the section’s cafe reviewer and really enjoying it so far – the extra jolt from all that caffeine consumption is just an Energiser-Bunny kinda bonus. You can read my first review, on St. Jude in Redfern, online if you like. My most recent one, on PS Cafe in Dulwich Hill, was published in the newspaper this week; I’m not sure if it’ll get a second life on the web, but if you’re ever curious about the latest cafe I’ve been assigned, you can always pick up the Herald on Tuesdays. And if you do, here are some {{{}}}} as a thank-you from me …!
